Dassault Systemes, yesterday, announced the release of their latest 3DVIA application. 3DVIA Mobile runs on iPhone and iPod touch devices in order to enable users to search, share and interact with the growing library of high quality 3D models on 3DVIA.com. The new application gives 3DVIA members unique access to rich 3D content usually reserved for workstations.

At 3DVIA, our goal is to make it easy for people to tap into the power of 3D as a communication medium,” said Lynne Wilson, CEO, 3DVIA, Dassault Systèmes. “With 3DVIA Mobile, users can find cool, realistic 3D content from our library and immediately enrich their photos, right on the iPhone. They download and position the model on a picture for an instant 3D mash-up that blends 3D digital data with the physical world. It’s both fun and viral because people like and want to share their creations.”

3DVIA Mobile also allows users to enhance or “augment” photographs with highly realistic 3D models. Users such as home decorators or do-it-yourself-ers can immediately realize what a space could look like using their Apple device and a series of 3DVIA models. Dassault released the new app to the world right in time for the NVIDIA GPU Tech Conference, where they will be exhibiting. If you’re going to be at the conference, stop by and check it out.
